Young Wendy rebelled in other ways against Jeff, riding off to concerts with her teen boyfriend. She kept a detailed journal, something her teacher asked her not to, and it would become an important reference as she wrote her memoir. ![]() She explores the complex experience of an exchange of power, which left Ortiz with a need-years later-to excavate her memories, and perhaps to reclaim that teenage girl from within the pages. Yet there are moments where she is aware of her power over him. She writes about rubbing her body across her carpeted bedroom floor, her sexual exploration with dreams of other girls, and through each chapter, how she is brought further into her teacher’s manipulations. Excavation delves into the writer’s sexual history with her junior high school teacher, Jeff Ivers, beginning from when she was age fourteen. Ortiz’s memoir, Excavation, is a poetic yet stark retelling of one teenage girl’s journey into womanhood.

![]() The Guilty Couple (Avon) by C L Taylor “a page-turning thriller that explores the consequences of a miscarriage of justice” has also been selected. You’re never sure what someone’s going to say to him next.”Īgent Seventeen (Hodder & Stoughton) by John Brownlow is the next title on the list, described as “a thrilling hitman novel” that follows the story of a freelance gun for hire to anyone who can afford him. He’s almost exhausted by torture and the endless double-game. The second title in this season’s Book Club is With a Mind to Kill (Jonathan Cape) by Anthony Horowitz, a brand new storyline for the iconic British spy James Bond, picking up where Ian Fleming left off. ![]() A gripping psychological thriller that delves into the dark secrets hidden in families, Richard Madley said he was “immediately hooked”, adding that Jewell’s latest thriller firmly stands on its own as the secrets of an unsolved mystery unravel. Judy Finnigan said she “adored” the book, adding: “Lisa Jewell hasn’t let me or her millions of fans down”.

That’s neat.” “What’s neat?” “Gem is like the Tony Stark of the Twin Cities. Wes Remington-the manager of Rubies-was at my house. “My sister brought Wes home last night,” I said. It was hard to care much about food when a case consumed me. “I’m ready to hear the details whenever you’re done with that wing.” I sighed, tossing the wing back into the bucket. Jimmy had shiny fingers by the time we returned to the station parking lot. A few minutes later, the tantalizing smell of fried chicken was working its way into the car’s upholstery. ![]() A king-sized pail for Jimmy, a queen for me. We crawled through the drive thru line and put in our orders. “Dare I suggest it be over a bucket of chicken?” I swerved into the left lane and put on my blinker for The Chicken Hut, a fried food joint near the station. “Alastair Gem is not a man you want to offend.” Chapter 9 “Iexpect you’ll fill me in,” Jimmy said as I climbed back into the car. Not to mention, Alastair contributes generously to the police department every year.” “What’s that supposed to mean?” Wes cracked his knuckles, then winced and shook out his hand. ![]() ![]() ![]() But they were too, too much when their desires were thwarted and they kicked up a fuss about it. ![]() There’s a phalanx of Ophelias who fascinated literary men with their complicated and forceful desires. Zambreno: “The chattering woman is the muse of modernism.” (83) These muses have been objectified and erases twice, by literature and then psychiatry. Heroines is centered not on the success stories but on the fuck-ups. Zambreno: “I align myself with a genealogy of erased women.” (157) But rather than reclaim the modernist classics for a feminist reading, or discover exemplary female modernist writers in the shadows of the great men, Zambreno pursues a different tack. Zambreno’ s Heroines (Semiotexte 2012) is in both form and content an attempt at a counter-narrative of modernist literature. ![]() I taught some of it this semester past and made at least a couple of Zambreno converts. After yet another review in the New York Times Book Review about some book about Scott Fitzgerald, I felt it was time to write something about Kate Zambreno’s book Heroines. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 1 (Hardcover) Published: February 08, 2023.
